INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2026
Today, we celebrate the energy, creativity, and resilience of young people everywhere. From leading actions in tackling alcohol and drugs related harms, climate justice to driving innovation, youth are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.
This year’s theme reminds us that youth voices matter — in communities, in policy, and in building peace. Let’s amplify their leadership, invest in their potential, and stand with them as partners for sustainable development.
To all young changemakers: keep dreaming, keep leading, and keep inspiring. The world needs your courage and vision more than ever.
